I'm 18 + 3 with my 3rd child and still have not felt movement- it's ok! Just relax and know that there are many factors that go in to it. If your placenta attached anterior to your uterus (in the front) it will take longer. Also, if you're over weight that can make it a little harder to feel as well. It doesn't matter if it's your 2nd, 3rd, or 5th! Just because it's not your first doesn't mean you will automatically feel it sooner, it just means you may recognize it easier. Remember that the baby's are still very tiny and weak with only cartilage at this stage, and every baby develops at a different pace. Good luck and relax and enjoy your pregnancy :)

I'm 18 weeks and have not felt kicks yet. Felt flutters on and off since week 13/14 but sometimes i go days with nothing. I just want to feel that first kick so badly. I am a first time mom and so impatient. We wait so much in pregnancy...

i m 17 weeks pregnant and this is my fourth pregnancy and i havent feel any movement yet i m in tension about my baby is healthy .in my previous pregnancies i was feeling the movement early but this time i m not feeling it what should i do

Started feeling fluttering movements at 15w 5 d and then nothing since then. I am exactly 18 weeks today... FTM...i have not felt movements in over 2 weeks and i keep reading that this is
normal but i can't help but be concerned.

I started feeling fluttering movements at 15w 5 d and then nothing... I am exactly 18 weeks today ...FTM... I have felt "pressure" in lower andomen but no movement in over 2 weeks. I keep reading it is normal but i cant help but be concerned.

It is completely normal to have no movements :). I have gone through that. I was scared to death for two days. but the baby was moving inside. How did i figured this out was from the scan I had. Thankfully we booked a private scan- Harley street- London with a harmony bld test. its costed us Â£550. We are not even bothered about the money because the scan was so detailed and i have seen my baby( boy) moving his hands towards his face and moving his left leg, even though I didn't feel anything. That has given us assurance that the baby does his or her movements whenever they want to.. its soo natural not to feel it. Trust me, nuthing to worry. Me and you and everyone will be proper kicks in some weeks time. :) Hope this has helped.xx

I am 18 weeks and the only things I have felt so far are sharp pains or "nigs" in my sides not at the same time. Mainly my left lower side . Doctor said these are growing pains and I should start feeling baby move in the next 2 weeks
